Good in every Day

Somewhere on the net I saw this signature......"Every day may not be good, but there's something good in every day..." I know I can have some pretty hard/stressful days as I'm sure we ALL do!!! There are so many good things that I think we forget to remember to notice....or we just take them for granted. I remember the winter a few years back that we lost ALL power for 3 days (we were some of the lucky ones as others lost it for over a week!!!) BOY did I ever notice just how many good things we lost during that time!!! I know it's kind of polly anna...but when I do have a bad day, I try to focus on some of the good things...and be thankful for them..... just that one small step seems to bring on a better attitude!! It is SO easy and almost addictive to focus on the bad stuff.....I wonder why,hmm? Have you ever noticed that the more you dwell on something, the more you think about it...fume...get all bent out of shape...and generally feel all crappy or sad or mad about it? Ugh....not so good. So I like to say deal...don't dwell.....you have to deal with the issues that crop up but don't dwell on them any longer than you have to...and honestly if you can't deal with them....just give it over to God !! I'm sure that lots of great things are in store for the rest of 2008!! At least that's my story and I'm stickin' to it!!
